Congratulations to the factory Porsche team in GTLM with the RSR and Alegra Porsche in GTD with the GT3R! (The race version/representative of the GT3RS). The GT3R Porsche is clawed back through a field of
Audis, Lambos, Ferraris and AMGs.

The factory team did fantastic. Started strong then had tire issues then ran one and two overnight then fell back with suspension issues then clawed their way back for second place finish. Quite a first showing for the car. Impressive!

Well the mystery is solved. Had you not been there to offer advice, Pilet would have passed the Ford haha

Didn't say what we were strategizing about

Missed you too. Looked for you in the suits. Was speaking to Dave and said we just missed you.

Congrats on your great performance Friday too!

A few years ago - after Petit 2015 when Porsche # 911 won overall - I was with my usual crew in the hospitality tent by Turn 1. The tent had nearly cleared out but we were still there and Andre came over, presumably to ask us to clear out of there (race ended 3 hours early due to rain). Instead he brought us several bottles of champagne to celebrate the victory!
